Love Song for a Vampire

"Love Song for a Vampire" is a song by Scottish singer Annie Lennox. It was recorded as the theme song to Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The song is used in the end credits of the film.

Music video

The video features Annie Lennox as a vampire in a white-dress in a dark and gloomy garden. Aside from shots of her singing, the music video incorporates numerous scenes from the movie Bram Stoker's Dracula that goes along with the beat of the music. The last shot is a fade out with a single beam of light shining on Lennox in an otherwise dark room.

In the UK, the song was released as a double-A sided single with Lennox's track "Little Bird" from her album Diva. It reached number three on the UK Singles Chart in early 1993, while in the US, it reached number 24 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
